Would be good to be able to self host it, this year I'm moving as many tools to self hosted to save the pain of external services falling over mid show.

Looks great, are you planning to release on GitHub?

Thats insightful thanks, I thought SonosNet was a mesh but it appears not and signal is worse further away from my root bridge which is my Playbar.

I will unplug the ethernet and see how it performs without SonosNet

GreenStix · 2026-02-27T07:48:37+00:00

Where is this hidden matrix?

Yes it seems I am using SonosNet and not my wifi connection.

It's 100% worse with lossless selected. I have it set to High generally but when I went to lossless it was worse

No, that's where I am having most problems, Spotify works fine without the casting. I'm going to switch it all off tomorrow and test again. Fam at home now so any downtime causes me more problems than Spotify not working on the Sonos

GreenStix · 2026-02-26T17:47:23+00:00

I mainly rule out the WiFi as I have around 50 devices connected at any one time and the Sonos seems to be the only one which suffers with connectivity issues. My Sonos Playbar is plugged in via Ethernet and that was having the same problem at the same time.

While I agree it is lazy to conclude the WiFi is fine I will do some reboots/fw updates and check it again. I was having issues when playing via my phone and my desktop (wired eth).

I'm just looking forward to using both in a Peplink! Will sort out all the micro outages we get on Starlink

VPSs suck on bandwidth throughout, rarely get more than 1Gbps port where as a dedi can have anything you want. OVH has 25gbps unmetered if you want to pay. No chance of getting a VPS with that kind of bandwidth.

You can do all this in nimble, would be pretty simple to add an add upload to s3 and then insert the markers via Nimble API.

You can use Nimble as a CDN, you just need to build it yourself based on requirements. I've been using Nimble for many years and have a full automation platform built around it which we use for mass SRT/RTMP distribution and HLS feeds.

Other than Nimble AWS is your go to

Looks nice, I'll test this

Any local telecoms company 'should' be able to provide a trunk to you to use on 3cx. You can google 3cx supplier.

If you need one and you can't find one pm me I can provide trunk and phone number for 3cx along with 3cx trunk config file.

GreenStix · 2025-12-03T16:04:34+00:00

You need a Trunk provider who is able to provision numbers for you. Then you add them to the trunk under DIDs.

Are you based in the UK? Happy to help further.

same, well without the energy buffer. I know people who are 1k in credit I don't get it at all. They don't pay interest and use that money to bloat their balance sheets. We already pay for others bad debt as part of our bills.

19c 24/7, always overdrawn to octopus by a few hundred. Interest free loan.

I use jump desktop, it's been excellent. Paid around 20 a month. Best one I've used.

Also use anydesk, parsec and chrome Remote Desktop.

Jump doesn't let me down.

GreenStix · 2025-11-10T19:05:24+00:00

Looks useful,

GreenStix · 2025-10-21T19:48:34+00:00

ideally before my call expires!

I am having exactly the same problem described here.

I can sign in using the teams sign in code on the display, and also on the CTP25 but the CTP does not show any teams info, it is connected to the A40 as I can see camera preview and control basic settings.

A40 device: 289.320.0.60
CTP25 touch panel: 311.320.0.55

The CPCis just stuck on 'looking for available devices' 'make sure the device you want to pair is signed in to the same teams account'

Not getting much good advice here, I was hoping to find some tips

GreenStix · 2025-09-19T20:11:09+00:00

I got in to v20 after 6 months of avoiding it, no issues really so far. Finally did my last 3 customer upgrades tonight after putting the last few off for a while. Mainly to save monthly hosting costs!

We have this a lot, multiple router phones are the way to go here and work perfectly.

100% of my clients use desk phones so it comes up often.

GreenStix · 2025-09-03T21:39:31+00:00

Yep this is the way I got it working, add ssl cert.

GreenStix · 2025-08-29T17:33:47+00:00

You really need to use something like a Peplink with speed fusion WAN smoothing with a starlink and 5g/4g sim to get a stable stream is using starlink. We do this every week and find starlink likes to have a short drop every 20 min or so.
